I first made this for my Hubby and son when he was 4 (the son, not the hubby) in 1974. It has become a firm favourite ever since. It's quick, easy and oh so yummy. Hope you enjoy it. When our son married I made up a cook book full of all the recipes he loved as a child. All these years later he's still making it for his family.
